In Israel, citizens dissatisfied with the lack of progress in releasing hostages staged violent protests, which resulted in police being called in to quell the protests. The Israeli military continued to carry out heavy airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on the 24th, and local health authorities say 92 people died in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, talks on a cessation of hostages and the release of hostages mediated by the United States, Qatar, and other countries were held in France on the 23rd. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains unwilling to accept Hamas's request for a complete ceasefire.
